are Annotation sources intended as gazetteers for lookup-based annotation of documents, i.e.
annotating all words / phrases in a document that are contained in a particular
list.</font>
<h4><font face="Verdana">The Lists Menu</font></h4>
<font size="2" face="Verdana">The Lists menu provides access to functions for
managing and applying gazetteer Lists:</font>
<ul>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Create:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List by providing entry data.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Load:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List loading a text file from the local file system.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Load URL:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List by loading a text file from an arbitrary URL.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Extract</font></b><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List by extracting the values of a particular type of Annotations from
    the document currently selected.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Edit:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Open
    the List editor dialog.</font></li>
  <li><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>Apply:</b> Select a gazetteer list and
    use it to annotate </font><font face="Verdana" size="2">all words / phrases
    in a currently selected document that are contained in that List. This
    function is also available through the&nbsp;<b>Apply List</b>&nbsp;option in the Tools
    menu.</font></li>
</ul>
<h4><font face="Verdana">The Edit Lists Dialog</font></h4>
<font face="Verdana" size="2">The dialog for List management is
accessible through the Edit function in the Lists menu. On the right
of the dialog, a list displays all existing Lists. In the middle, it
displays the entries of the List currently selected in that list. Below the
entries, three buttons provide functions for editing the List currently selected:</font>
<ul>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Union:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Opens
    a dialog for selecting another List to be unioned with the one currently
    being edited. Above the Union and Cancel buttons, that dialog has a checkbox
    for specifying if the union operation should be case sensitive or not. The
    second List will not be changed by this operation.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Intersect:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Opens
    a dialog for selecting another List to be intersected with the one currently
    being edited. Above the Union and Cancel buttons, that dialog has a checkbox
    for specifying if the intersect operation should be case sensitive or not.
    The second List will not be changed by this operation.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Subtract:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Opens
    a dialog for selecting another List to be subtracted from the one currently
    being edited. Above the Union and Cancel buttons, that dialog has a checkbox
    for specifying if the subtraction operation should be case sensitive or not.
    The second List will not be changed by this operation.</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Verdana" size="2">At the top of the dialog, a line of buttons provides the functionality for managing the Lists:</font>
<ul>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Create:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Clone</font></b><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List, copying the entries of the one currently selected.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Load:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List loading a text file from the local file system.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Load URL:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List by loading a text file from an arbitrary URL.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Extract:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Create
    a new List by extracting the values of a particular type of Annotations from
    the document currently selected.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Delete:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;Delete
    the List currently selected.</font></li>
</ul>
<h4><font face="Verdana">Applying Lists</font></h4>
<font size="2" face="Verdana">Whenever a List is to be applied, there are two
checkboxes providing additional influence on the behavior of the List based
annotation:</font>
<ul>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Case Sensitive:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;If
    checked, the List lookups are case sensitive, otherwise they are not.</font></li>
  <li><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">Overlapping Matches:</font></b><font face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;If
    checked, every word or phrase in the document is annotated if it is
    contained in the List, regardless of overlaps. Otherwise, only the longest
    match is annotated from each set of overlapping matches.</font></li>
</ul>
